That is part of the problem Bonnie. The HOA says only metal open bar
fence no taller than 4 feet. We have a natural cliff in the back down to
a pond. it would be a 10' jump to get in so I think we could keep them
out there but not at sides of house.
I'm trying to only plant things they don't like for now.
